A two-part sizing composition including a precursor size composition and a
binder composition, the binder composition being substantially free of
any aminosilane coupling agent for is provided for the production of
reinforcing fiber materials that exhibit little or no coloration. The
two-part sizing composition may be advantageously employed to make
substantially colorless, densified fiber pellets of a reinforcing fiber
material. The densified fiber pellets may be produced by applying the
sizing composition to reinforcing fiber strands, chopping the reinforcing
fiber strands to form chopped strand segments, applying the binder
composition, and palletizing and densifying the coated chopped strand
segments to form flowable densified fiber pellets.
